The module...

So after much deliberation; I have finished the structure and services of the building.  There will be a 500 mm thick wall that contains the building risers either side of the central corridor on each level; this creates a structure that supports the building in every way while still allowing flexibility to each module.

The difficulty then becomes using the service wall in each apartment and actually attaching the water/waste services directly to this wall or a solid wall that supplies the service core wall.  The only way to do this in one of my example modules that remains a single bay is by adding a temporary services wall into the apartment   This feeds the bathroom and the kitchen while minimizing the wall width.

This is only an issue when looking at a single bay module apartment   When looking at various service providers in the building such as food, dry cleaning, restaurants  design studios and manufacturing shops; there is a wider service wall facility available so this is not much of a problem as yet.

Over the next week I will be exploring different module designs to present in the final design and start on the deliverables.
